How to Set Up a Brand New iPad Without Wi-Fi Access 1. Plug the iPad into your laptop. You will need to follow the instructions on both the iPad

and the computer.

2. On the iPad, follow the prompts. There will be a blue Arrow, NEXT or DONE button in

the top right corner of each screen.

a. Choose language > English

b. Choose country > Canada

c. DISABLE Location Services. Confirm that you DO NOT want to enable Location

Services. For any apps that need the Location Services to operate, you can turn on

the Service for just those apps, whether when you install or under Settings. This is

for security purposes. When it asks if you want to “Disable Location Services”,

choose OK.

d. Choose Network. DO NOT choose a network! Instead, choose NEXT in the top

right corner. Confirm that you are not choosing a network by selecting Continue

when it asks if you would like to “Continue without Wi-Fi”.

e. Select “Set Up as New iPad”. Click Next..

f. AGREE to the Apple “Terms and Conditions”.

g. Select “Don’t Send” for the Diagnostics.

h. Choose “Start Using iPad”



3. On your laptop, choose to register your iPad

by clicking on “Continue”

If the screen just goes blank, disconnect and

reconnect the iPad to your laptop. You will

then need to choose to “Continue” again.

4. Sign in with your Apple ID.

5. Confirm your name and school

address. Choose whether or not you

want emails from iTunes on new

releases. Answer questions about the

uses for the iPad. Choose “Submit”



6. Choose to “Set up as a new iPad” and click “Continue”

7. Name the iPad. It will default to the Apple ID but you may want each to be different.

Uncheck the boxes “Automatically sync songs to my iPad” and “Automatically sync apps

to my iPad” unless you want all iPad attached to your account to be exactly the same. It is

highly recommended that you uncheck both. Choose Done.

Ready for use! See “Purchasing & Transferring Apps to an iPad Using a Laptop” for details on

adding apps to the iPad!.



Prevent Syncing To prevent your iTunes library from syncing to any Apple device you may attach to your

computer, do the following:

1. In iTunes, go to the Edit menu along

the top. Choose Preferences

2. A box titled General Preferences will pop

up in the middle of the screen. Choose

Devices along the top.

3. Check the box which says

“Prevent iPods, iPhones, and

iPads from syncing

automatically”.



Setting up an iTunes Account Without a Credit Card To purchase apps or other content for SRSD iPads, you will need an

iTunes account. Follow the steps below to create an iTunes account for

your SRSD email. DO NOT use one account for both school and home!

Any purchases you make for SRSD are the property of SRSD and remain

with the school/Division even if you change schools.

1. Create your SRSD iTunes account on the computer which you plan to update the iPad on.

This will save you time when adding apps to any devices.

2. Open iTunes (there will be an icon on your computer’s desktop. Do not go through

the web) and go to the iTunes Store. Then click to go to the App Store.

3. Sign out of any iTunes account you

might already be signed in with.

(Do this by clicking your email

address in the top-right corner of

the iTunes window. Click the Sign

Out button in the dialog box that

appears.)

4. Go to the details page of any free app (such as Dragon

Dictation). You can find the app by using the Search

feature in the top right corner. Click the Free App button.

5. Click the Create Apple ID button and complete the registration.

6. When asked to select a credit card, choose NONE. If you have an iTunes card, you can

choose to redeem it at this time. If you do not, you can continue without.

It's important to note that iTunes will not provide NONE as a choice for Credit Card

unless you create an account by first downloading a free app. The good news is that

you only have to do this once.



Purchasing & Transferring Apps to an iPad Using a Laptop Once you have an iTunes account with your SRSD email address as your Apple ID, you can start

purchasing Apps. You will purchase apps using an iTunes gift card which has been purchased

with an LPO. When you receive the email receipt, this will be printed and attached to the copy of

the LPO you have. When the entire card is spent, you will provide the receipts and copy of the

LPO to your principal (if card was purchased with school funds) or your SSS consultant (if

purchased by the SSS Department).

To buy an app on your laptop and then have it downloaded onto an iPad, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the iTunes store and choose the apps you would like to download. You can find

apps using the Search option in the right hand corner or browse by category.

2. When you are making your

first purchase, you may need

to authorize your computer

before you can complete the

purchase. To do this, click

on the Store menu along the

top of the screen. Choose

“Authorize This Computer

…” It will tell you how many computers have been authorized for your account. There

can be up to five.

3. Once you have made all of your purchases, you are ready to add these apps to your iPad.

Connect the iPad to your laptop.

4. Your device will appear in the left hand column

under DEVICES. Click on your device name.



5. Click on APPS which appear

along the top menu, generally

right below the Apple symbol.

6. Make sure that the Sync Apps

is checked off on the APPS

screen. Do not panic when it

gives you the warning about

syncing apps! As long as this

is the only account you have

attached to your iPad, you will

not lose anything on your

iPad.

7. Check off all the apps that you want to have transferred to the iPad. Any apps already on

the iPad will already be checked off. If you want all new apps to go on to this iPad, you

can check off the “Automatically sync new apps” option. However, if you have multiple

iPads on your

account, you may

want to uncheck

this box to allow for

customization of

each iPad.

8. When you have

chosen all of the

apps, click on

“Apply” in the

bottom right corner.

Your apps will then be transferred to the iPad.



Transferring Purchases From iPad to Laptop Before doing updates to the operating system (iOS) or to ease in the transferring of apps that

have been purchased on an iPad to other iPads synced to the same account, you will want to

Transfer Purchases.

need to download the

updates again, just follow steps 7 to 10.



Updating the Operating System

Periodically, you will see a red circle with a 1 in it on the Settings icon on the iPad. This

indicates you need to do an iOS update (operating system update).

1. Connect the iPad to your laptop. Most likely, a message will

appear telling you that an update is available. BUT, before you

Tips and Tricks on the iPad 1. To hide the internet, YouTube or other items on the iPad and to prevent students from

making changes to Email Accounts, Contacts, Calendar or to Location Services:

a. Choose “Settings” on the iPad.

b. Under “General”, choose “Restrictions”

c. Choose “Enable Restrictions”

d. Enter a four-digit passcode. Re-enter the four-digit passcode. DON’T FORGET

THIS CODE! But, you can use a different code if each time you “Enable

Restrictions.”

i. Turn off the items you want to have hidden on the iPad. To unhide the

items, do these steps but “Disable Restrictions”. You will need to know

the four-digit code.

ii. To prevent changes, click on either “Location” or “Accounts” to prevent

changes to these.

2. To create folders on the iPad, hold your finger on any icon. Each icon will begin to shake

and an X will appear on the corner of each. Choose an icon. Slide the icon to another icon

you want in the same folder. They should slide together and make a folder. You can

rename the folder at this time.

3. When in one app, you can switch quickly to an app you previously had open by quickly

double-clicking on the HOME button. A line of apps you have used will appear along the

bottom.

4. To save battery, you should periodically close apps completely by double-clicking on the

HOME BUTTON. Hold your finger over any icon on the bottom row until they all start

to shake and a “-“ appears in the corner of each. Tap the “-“ on each app to completely

close it.
